The US military veteran said he “was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had his car window smashed, and was forcibly removed from his vehicle at gunpoint—all while complying with orders and identifying himself as both a U.S. citizen and an employee.” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

For too long people have jumped like marionettes every time another fear-mongering campaign starts up.

But we should be infinitely more afraid of masked agents kidnapping our neighbors than of immigrants.

Fascists use fear — we can’t let them.

2018 I start a production gig at Coachella. 2019 I started working Advance for Bernie.

Last night, the two converged!

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Appalling anti-American principles being advanced by the Secretary of State.

Shot. Chaser.

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.”

The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE.
And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.”

I really wish people would care about Trump using Pinochet's tactics to disappear people for speaking their mind.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

ICE is snatching up people and abducting them. In the middle of the night and in broad daylight.
Students, mothers, children, People of the Global Majority, citizens, anyone they want. Anyone they don't want.

They disappeared a green card holder and threatened to arrest a citizen.

We are in some serious trouble in ‘democratic’ America.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

Rand Paul has introduced a National Right to Work Act.

The bill is an attack on organized labor and workers across the country.

It would make it harder for workers to unionize, win good contracts, and maintain their unions.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

The rumors are true! There's a leucistic wood duck near San Diego California and they're a QUEEN! She's riding with mallards, ring ducks, northern shovelers, other wood ducks, and not taking. any. shit!

Gonna be hard to top this bird as my favorite bird of 2025.

More video tomorrow. #Birds

The Constitution is written, as its first seven words provide, on behalf of "we the people of the United States."

The people are sovereign. We elect 537 representatives to exercise our sovereignty in the federal government. The President is the most powerful of them, but he's not sovereign himself.
